And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity

Transliteration: Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

Transliteration: Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Until there came to us the certainty

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ

Transliteration: Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

Transliteration: Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ

Transliteration: Kalla innahu tathkiratun

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Transliteration: Faman shaa thakarahu

Then whoever wills will remember it

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
